How are wikis a "wonderful representation of how our understanding of knowledge is changing?"
What do you think the author meant by stating that wikis support Friedman’s idea of the flat world or silos of information being replaced by horizontal connections?

What two main arguments are presented to refute the value of wikis?
1. Evaluate and reflect on current research and professional
practice on a regular basis to make effective use of existing
and emerging digital tools and resources in support of student learning.
Class readings
2. Address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies
providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources.
3. Model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning.

5. Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge
to new technologies and situations.
Students will learn how to use new technologies (NonLinear PPt) to create a student-centered WebQuest.
6. Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
7. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources
8. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
All three of these will be accomplished through student learning how to create a WebQuest through PPt to be placed on their wiki.
I will be accomplishing this by using lecture, PowerPoint, as well as podcast and screen capture recording via SmartBoard
